It’s even dumber than you think. The plan is to shrink the size of the district, presumably down to just SCOTUS, White House, National Mall, Capitol etc. Essentially just a tiny congressional neighborhood., with the surroundings converted into a crop electoral votes for Democrats in the form of a new “state.”
I don’t entirely disagree, but he’s only emboldening the GOP by speaking in these terms, pledging to win them seats after the entire party betrayed him (i.e. “see, he needs us way more than we need him”). Hell, they’ve already blamed him for losing Georgia, now they openly flirt with convicting him in the Senate. They need to understand that the threat of third party exodus is very real, and losing MAGA means losing everything. The GOP still thinks we’re an anomaly.
It will deflate any attempt at a grassroots campaign, especially a third party run, if the man himself cannot appear on the ballot. It’s also a final punishment and humiliation for daring to defy the establishment at all.
Also discounts the fact that the steal, lack of transparency, censorship, and now Biden’s horrific first actions as Executive are redpilling the shit out of normies who are no longer likely to vote establishment given a viable alternative.
Tweet gone. What was it?
